The guideways and recirculating units are made of corrosion-resistant, hardened steel. They are suitable for numerous applications. High acceleration and/or extreme load values are involved. High vacuums also no problems.

The proven advantages of the AMS products, including single-piece lengths up to 6 m, are complemented by additional features that simplify the operation of distance measuring systems in industrial environments.

The high accuracy and excellent operating characteristics of slides have been appreciated for decades. Frictionless tables work with absolutely zero backlash thanks to their preloaded roller guideways.
